It may be hard to tell, but today’s outfit was inspired by this photo from Lucky. I almost couldn’t find a “schoolboy” blazer of my own. I pulled this one out of the swap pile, rolled up the sleeves, and made it work. I guess I’ll hold on swapping this blazer and its matching skirt just yet.

Earlier this month, I bought a new winter coat to replace my beige one. The old, Liz Claiborne, coat was actually getting holey. The wool seemed to be thinning until there was nothing left in spots. It lasted me three seasons. Black will hide the dirt better, but the cat hair seems more obvious.
